Mysterious creature sightings

Chapter 4 Did we really see something weird?
It's two o'clock in the morning, and the last batch of voice-activated lights in the villa area are also losing their light in the silence.

Ling Jiangnian tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He wanted to sit in the open-air garden on the roof. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Ling Jiangyu standing on the terrace of the second floor.

He was smoking, and the scarlet color on the cigarette butt was very obvious at night. Under the dim moonlight, you could still see the wisps of smoke entwining around his fingertips, rising up to cover his handsome and indifferent face.

She hesitated and took a few steps forward.

"Brother." She shouted softly, with a slight hesitation at the end.There was already one person in this family who openly called him brother. She was suspicious of the previous title and didn't know if she should still call him that.

Ling Jiangyu turned around, took off his cigarette and put it between his fingers, and asked slowly: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Can't sleep. What about you?"

They have never spoken so politely. They have been siblings for almost ten years. When she was first adopted by her brother's family, she was not as polite as now, because at that time, Ling Jiangyu transferred all his guilt and love for his sister to her in an evasive manner. , very nice to her.

Ling Jiangyu shook his head and did not explain the reason. He just looked at her and said, "Jiang Yue has just come back recently and has been neglecting you a bit. Don't hold back."

She also shook her head: "I didn't..."

"Uncle Fu came back from buying shrimp dumplings, but he didn't bring your favorite crispy pineapple buns. He used to bring them to you every time he passed by Chengde Building."

Ling Jiangnian didn't expect that he would notice this detail, and looked at him blankly for a while.

There was a little sourness in her eyes, but she forced a smile at the corner of her mouth: "Uncle Fu may have been busy and forgot, and it's not like you don't know that I'm a model, so I can't eat high-calorie foods at night."

Then he hesitated and asked, "Is Jiang Yue really okay today?"

Ling Jiangyu slowly exhaled the smoke and swallowed his uncomfortable throat before saying: "She probably saw some large wild animals and was frightened. I looked at the registration information of that program group, and they all went to remote places. Yes, Jiang Yue is running around all over the world, and she might encounter something like this again, and we can't rush to her immediately..."

Maybe she didn't want to stay at home and get along with her unfamiliar parents and his brother who had given up on her.

As he spoke, he put the cigarette to his mouth again, but suddenly he coughed twice. Ling Jiangnian thought of the sore throat he had before and subconsciously smoked his cigarette.

"Brother, please stop smoking. Just smoke when we talk to Zhuang Jie and the others today——"

As soon as she stretched out her hand, Ling Jiangyu took away the cigarette and was about to cover her mouth with her other hand to cover up the sound. By coincidence, her hand was pressed to his lips.

The skin touched each other, and both of them were stunned.

Then Ling Jiangnian quickly withdrew his hand and said with the corner of his mouth: "Stop it, go back to sleep, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Ling Jiangyu frowned and watched her back gradually disappear into the darkness.He was originally going to finish the cigarette, but as soon as the filter touched his mouth, he took the cigarette out and put it out on the balcony. He stood for a while and blew the smell away, and then returned to the room.

When there was absolutely no movement outside, Ling Jiangyue raised his head from behind the door and curled his lips.

-

The next day happened to be Saturday, and Ling Jiangyue rejected Ling Jiangyu's suggestion to take her there and asked Zhuang Mei's driver to take her to Jiayu Hospital.

There were many people visiting the doctor on weekends, and the children were screaming and making a lot of noise. It was only after I went to the neurology inpatient department that things got better.Zheng Linlin's ward is on the third floor, and unexpectedly it has a separate bed.

She was still not feeling well and was receiving an intravenous drip. Two colleagues were accompanying her.Zheng Linlin's eyes lit up when she saw her coming. "Jiang Yue, you're finally here, and they don't believe it..." Just before she said it, she suddenly remembered the policeman's instructions to her that night, so she quickly shut up and only smiled reluctantly at her.

After the two colleagues went out, Zheng Linlin moved closer to her, looking around as if to see if there was any monitoring equipment in the ward.

"Did a handsome policeman take a note of you yesterday?"

Ling Jiangyue nodded and thought, seeing her pale face and obviously still frightened, she pursed her lips and put the fruit next to her, sat down and held her hands.

Zheng Linlin was indeed still frightened. She didn't dare to fall asleep when she woke up, for fear of dreaming about the terrible scene last night.

She held Ling Jiangyue's hand, not caring about the relationship between the two, and asked urgently in a low voice: "Then you should be able to tell that that person doesn't look like a normal police officer from the Public Security Bureau, right? At least he doesn't look like a police officer from Ning'an County. ! He waited until midnight to take notes for me first, and he was so calm, as if this was not the first time he had dealt with this kind of thing. Did we see something we shouldn't have seen? Is that thing real? "

"I don't know. The policeman said he would tell us after the investigation is clear. But it is said that there are almost no high mountains and dense forests in Ning'an County, so the possibility of that thing existing is very small. Maybe we are really wrong."

"How could I have seen it wrong! That lightning struck down, it was so big... we could see it clearly, the teeth were protruding, and the whole body was white, no, it was green..."

Ling Jiangyue took over: "I saw blood-red fur."

Zheng Linlin said: "Yes, yes, it is blood red. With such characteristics, how could it be wrong? What animals, trees and vines are blood red and have teeth? And -"

She took two deep breaths and lowered her voice again. This time her tone was a bit excited about discovering a secret: "I have seen people on the Internet saying that there are savages. In the past few years, the news about savages in Shennongjia has been very popular. There are also snowmen in the Himalayas, and they are from the United States. Bigfoot belongs to this category, and I heard that many people have taken photos. But I was afraid that those people would monitor my mobile phone, so I didn’t dare to search online.”

Ling Jiangyue also showed a curious expression: "Then why hasn't it been spread?"

"Because there are mixed truths and falsehoods, some of them are obviously fake, and the officials probably didn't want us to believe this information, so they suppressed it? I don't know. In fact, it's normal for there to be savages. The history has developed for tens of thousands of years, and some of them are not preserved. The savages have survived, and some orangutans and apes in the wild have evolved, which is understandable."

The more Zheng Linlin talked, the more relieved she became.

The historical process of biological evolution continues. It is normal for savages to stay in the deep mountains and old forests and occasionally take the wrong path for a stroll. As long as the police intervene in the investigation and alert them, they will definitely not appear in human activities areas again.

So there is no need to be afraid of seeing it again.

She breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed and leaned against the hospital bed. She told Ling Jiangyue this and then murmured about the program team with sadness.

"The location chosen by the director is really wonderful. You can see giant savages in a forest farm. I fainted and scared everyone. I heard that the next episode will be shot in an ethnic minority village by the lake. This We must never encounter this kind of thing again."

By the lake.

Ling Jiangyue smiled, picked up an apple, and peeled it for Zheng Linlin very slowly.

Halfway through peeling, the circled apple skin broke. She raised her head, and the next second someone knocked on the door.

"You can go in."

Lin Zheng walked in with long legs, and his expression showed no emotion or anger: "Miss Ling happens to be here, and I would like to trouble you to take notes again."

"What's wrong?"

"Last night's rain washed away all traces. No traces of any creature can be found at the scene. Now only the two of you insist on seeing the creature."
